    bet it fires just fine. Might be a trash piece of brass after.

    Another truck tire thread

    Find the tire you want on walmart tire. Watch the prices. Often you will see a vendor looking to unload some for cheaper. Buy em up and wally world will install them. I have a ran both the ko2 and duratracs. If I were driving mostly highway I'd go with the ko2. If I were more offroad, I'd go...

    Hanna WY snow

    I've had a few hundred around my place for a few months. Lots of bucks. Stopped counting bucks at 50 the other day... We don't have near the snow. As long as they can get east...

    Hanna WY snow

    Antelope on the area migrate great distances. They don't have to go far to reach more open country.

    Field processing: cut deer in half?

    I do gutless and quarter even if I'm near a road. My reasoning is, you have to do it anyway and you don't end up having to dispose of a carcass at home. If I'm back in a ways I'll bone it. I do prefer to hang quarters bone in before cutting. I've tried about everything over the years and this...

    Antler Darkening (opinions wanted)

    They look good. If you really want them darker, take some steel wool to them, rather lightly. Get some dark dirt and mix with water to make a paste. Work that in with an old tooth brush. Allow to dry. Rub off with a rag. Take steel wool to the parts you want lighter/ivory, like ends of points...

    Velvet Euro mount. When and how to clean skull?

    If you don't want the velvet to come off consider cutting out the skull cap and reattaching it after you clean the skull. Or you could cut the antlers off individually and reattach them with a screw from the bottom when done. That's the only way to be sure the velvet won't get damaged cleaning...

    Getting rid of belly fat.

    I have good results hitting the gym early in the morning and when I really want to cut - fast a good portion of the day after you get your post workout meal in, with maybe a small lunch and a decent dinner. This is highly dependent on your daily activity level. Also, this works for me, maybe not...

    Your Best Budget Gun ever?

    Stevens 200 7mm-08. I think it was $300? Bedded it with jb weld and topped it with an old Bushnell I had laying around. Shoots lights out.

    Lets talk game bags...

    You want some that breath. Some of the newer reusable ones hold too much moisture and will freeze to the meat when hung overnight. Sounds like these Argalis are breathable. Never used them. I use a mixed matched bunch I have saved over the years and they do the trick.

    Second rifle to buy after .300wsm

    I haven't really looked much. I did a bunch of stocking up pre-covid. Have enough 08 ammo to supply a small army.

    Second rifle to buy after .300wsm

    I got my 3 kids 7mm-08s when they started out but all 3 now shoot one of my 300 wsm's. The recoil doesn't seem to bother them when shooting at game. The 08s mostly sit in the safe during hunting season.

    What would cause a rifle to shoot this poorly?

    Exactly. And there's plenty you can do. Start with trying different ammo.

    What would cause a rifle to shoot this poorly?

    That's pretty fair for the rifle in question and many a guy hunted with those kinds of groups and stacked up piles of critters. However, various things could be done to decrease group size. Start with kinds of ammo. If you reload, even better. I have a few rifles that shoot sub moa with...
